vulva Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Someone ask him if he regrets taking us to the play offs twice in 2 years, when you take into account the shiite he’s had on here since from a minority of fans that just don’t flipping get it. I’d have Carlos back tomorrow. Great character and produced the best football we’ve seen for years. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper Abdi was a great signing I went on a Watford fans forum and they very disappointed that he had left. (OK OK not all of them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you also hold Trevor Francis in such high esteem? Another one of our managers who's opinion of themselves is that they did a brilliant job when in fact the fact his squad deteriorated in the exact same way as Carlos draws a direct comparison between the two (unable to man-manage players and reliant solely on the gloriously talented squads they have to self motivate themselves into doing what's required) Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Some of the signings brought in by Carlos and Chansiri back then - http://yeswecrann.co.za/2016/07/15/the-owls-new-boys-201617/ Some great analysis on there too Some great signings and some seriously strange/poor ones Same as every other club I would imagine Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it. Wembley was great, playoffs exciting. Problem is, success attracts the Sky Sports mob, who don’t understand where we were, and how far we came. The Carlos issue is who followed him. Had Bruce come in, and built on what Carlos had put together, we’d now be in the Premier League. Instead, we ended up with that wazzurk from Germany, and that has massively coloured the Carlos legacy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos legacy was built by Carlos, where Carlos was responsible for Carlos Who followed him has absolutely zero bearing on Carlos, his appalling mess of a third season, the state of his squad, the culture that he instilled in our club that we are still suffering from, OR his legacy Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 3rd season wasn’t great, but after finishing in the playoffs with his team, in his first 2 seasons, he deserved another crack at it. The biggest mistake this club has made in the last 10 years is Jos, not Carlos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downhill after the first season? I look forward to the next manager who gets us more points than we did in 2016-17 at this level. We had a budget outside the top 6 but you expected us to coast top 2, deluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
